Remain on offensive against terrorism, including Iran

In order to robustly defend our national security, we must stay on the offensive against Al Qaeda, prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, protect long-term allies such as Israel, and remain committed to global human rights. We cannot sacrifice
any of these objectives for the sake of political expediency or short-term economic gain.

The potential of a nuclear-armed Iran poses a credible threat to the United States and the global community, and an existential threat to our ally Israel.
We must stop Iran's efforts to develop nuclear weapons, and every option--including a military option--must be available to accomplish this goal.

As we bring our troops home from Iraq & Afghanistan, we must be sure to remain on the offensive against
terrorism. I support the continued use of drones in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, & Somalia as a means to gather intelligence and target terrorists. But we must also seek new partnerships and demand more from our NATO allies in combating global terrorism
